SpiceJet has taken a major stride in its ongoing fleet revival plan by receiving the first two overhauled engines from global MRO leader StandardAero. This includes a CFM LEAP-1B engine, which powers the Boeing 737 MAX, refurbished at StandardAero’s Houston facility in the U.S., and a Q400 engine from its Singapore facility.
The airline also recently brought another Boeing 737 NG aircraft back into active service after successful maintenance, signalling a steady and structured effort to restore its operational capacity.
In total, SpiceJet has sent 17 engines for overhaul as part of its broader fleet restoration strategy. With the first two engines now back in service, the airline expects a consistent return of additional overhauled engines in the months ahead.
Out of these, six LEAP-1B engines were sent to StandardAero’s Houston unit, while seven Q400 engines were dispatched to its Singapore facility. Additionally, four engines were sent to Carlyle Aviation to support the reactivation of grounded Boeing 737 NG aircraft.
This move marks a significant push by SpiceJet to enhance reliability, increase aircraft availability, and support its long-term growth plans.
